This is a very cute handmade velvet Chunari / Duppata of Maa Durga which is used in the Puja of Maa Durga. This Chunari is decorated with golden stars and peacock feathers design is also made with golden zari. It has a beautiful border which makes it even more attractive. This Chunari is used in the Jagran of Maa Durga, for decorating the small idol of Maa Durga and for her Shringar (shringar). It can also be used for multiple purposes like using it as an aasan or placing an idol of Maa Durga or a Kalash on it. It can be dry washed.

Chunri is an integral part of festivities. It is draped on head and shoulders like a scarf by women during religious functions, ceremonies and prayer rituals.  It is draped around deity Idols and altars and thus made from auspicious colors. Often a chunri is used in altar as a seat for Idols and yantras and for adding color and festivity to the prayer room.

Offering the Chunri to Devi or Goddess or any deity is a age old tradition which signifies respect towards the deities. Chunri is also laid down before installing a deity idol. The Chunri is laid on a pedestal and then the deity idol is installed on top of it.  Covering the top part of the Goddess statue and photo is also a widely practiced tradition.
